Flagship Project: 2: Improved Varieties and Hybrids COA: Sorghum-WCA Marker detection for fertility restoration gene in WCA sorghum Baloua Nebie1, Aboubacar Toure1, Moctar Kante3, Willmar L. Leiser3, Bettina I.G. Haussmann3, Ramadjita Tabo1 1 ICRISAT-Mali, 3 University of Hohenheim Objective of activity Identify fertility restorer genes in sorghum; Develop and validate SNP markers for such genes Materials and methods The material used in this study was consist of 800 F2 progenies from two male sterile females, (CK60A and FambeA); and two Restorers lines (Lata and DT298). Leaf samples were taken from individual plants and genotyping was performed. The seed per panicle was also scores (0 for sterile plants and 1 for 100% fertile ones). These scores were assigned to each F2 plant and used as phenotypic data in the QTL analysis using TASSEL and R softwares. Results and interpretation A total of 3 859; 1 574 and 4 119 SNP markers were used for Rf2 (DT298xCK60A), Rf3 (FambeA x Lata) and Rf4 (FambeA x DT298) genetic map construction, respectively, Rf1 (CK60A x Lata) was removed from analyses. The QTL analysis revealed one QTL on chromosome 5 for Rf2, one QTL on chromosome 2 for Rf3 (Figure 1) and 2 QTLs for Rf4 on chromosomes 5 and 10 were, found with a LOD score superior to 4 (Table 1). In total 24 PPR genes (this gene family is known to be involved in CMS systems in other plants) were found in the regions with significant LOD scores. Finally, 11 candidate genes were selected based on their similarity with rice Rf1 and sorghum Rf1 genes. The same genes were found for Rf2 and Rf4, both having the same male parent. The development of primers for sequencing of these genes is ongoing. Table 1 : QTL with significant LOD score for Rf2, Rf3 and Rf4 populations.

Each population was sowed from seeds of F2.
